This room is on the top floor of an old residential building that is about 6 or 7 stories tall with no elevator. So it would be quite a hustle to bring your luggage upstairs if you have a few heavy pieces. Also the roof above your head is basically a piece of metal, which doesn’t become a problem until it rains. Also according to Evan, you have to open the windows before you leave the room otherwise it may get overheated during the day. This room is definitely not as comfortable as a hotel room. But you do get a taste of the real bangkok life.
On the plus side, there are a lot of great and fairly priced restaurants around this place, both western and thai. Evan left a pretty detailed instruction manual as to how to find the best ones. On the instruction manual you can also find guides to transportation, tourist attractions and staying comfortably in your room.
Overall, a great stay worthy of its price. Removed 1 star because of the stair situation.
